A 9-year-old English bulldog, Zsa Zsa, was named the victor of the 2018 World's Ugliest Dog contest in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Zsa Zsa takes the title from last year's victor Martha - a four-year-old Neapolitan Mastiff, who has a very droopy face and bad gas, according to her owner Shirley Zindler who rescued the attractive dog from Dogwood Animal Rescue Project. Her mother saw her lovely picture on pet finder and HAD TO HAVE HER!
